Historically, this event is the cornerstone of the Exodus narrative. *Related to*: [[Exod-14#v13|Exodus 14:13]]-14 ### and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben--how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The text references the specific judgment where the earth consumed Dathan and Abiram due to their rebellion. *Historical context*: This refers to the events in [[Num-16#v28|Numbers 16:28]]-33, where Moses prophesied a unique sign—the ground opening—to prove his divine mandate. The fulfillment occurred immediately as described in the Numbers account. *Related to*: [[Num-16#v28|Numbers 16:28]]-30 ### Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the western sea shall be your border. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prediction of the maximum territorial expansion of Israel, specifically extending to the Euphrates River. *Historical context*: Biblical historians and scholars point to [[1 Kings-04#v21|1 Kings 4:21]] and [[2 Chron-09#v26|2 Chronicles 9:26]] as the fulfillment of this prophecy, noting that during the reign of Solomon, Israelite dominion and tributary status reached from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines and the border of Egypt. *Related to*: ### and Yahweh's anger be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky so that there is no rain, and the land doesn't yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A conditional prophecy stating that if Israel turned to idolatry, God would cause a severe drought and agricultural failure. *Historical context*: Theologians identify the fulfillment of this specific 'curse' in [[1 Kings|1 Kings 17]]-18, where the prophet Elijah declared a three-and-a-half-year drought upon Israel specifically because of King Ahab's worship of Baal, the Canaanite god of rain and fertility. *Related to*: ### It shall happen, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prediction and instruction that upon entering the promised land, a specific ceremony involving the recitation of blessings and curses would take place on these two mountains. *Historical context*: This prophecy was literally fulfilled in [[Josh-08#v30|Joshua 8:30]]-35, where Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal and gathered all Israel, half in front of Mount Gerizim and half in front of Mount Ebal, to read the words of the law including the blessings and curses. *Related to*: ### For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and you shall possess it and dwell in it. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prediction that the Israelites would successfully cross the Jordan River and settle permanently in the land of Canaan. *Historical context*: Historical and textual analysis identifies the fulfillment in the Book of Joshua, chapters 3 through 21, which details the miraculous crossing of the Jordan and the subsequent conquest and allotment of the land to the tribes of Israel. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
